For this card I started with a piece of watercolor paper. I embossed the coffee image with white embossing powder. This cup is from the Altenew Coffee with a Splash set. I've been trying to find a way to use this set and this was the perfect chance. I then blended on three different colors of distress ink for an ombre look. I used Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso. I splattered on clean water, let it sit for a few moments and then blotted it up with a paper towel.
Once it was dry I added the sentiment from The Ton's Caffiene Crush set. I used Versafine black ink and clear embossing powder. I used my corner chomper to round two of the corners. I added craft foam to the back and glued it to a white card base. For the final little bit of shine, I added Ivory crystals from Pretty Pink Posh. Ta da!
I am hopeful that I can get at least one more card made before the challenge is over. Thanks for popping in!
